Is This Coral Ok In My Tank?

[kennygater]

i have got a d&d 24 gallon nano cube. i bought this coral sunday and the man in the shop said it would be fine in my tank but it doesnt seem to be doing very well. some of the ends are curling up. all my water tests are fine and i do a 15% water change every week. any help would be great. thanks

what is your light, what kind of coral is it, and what are your water params (numbers would be better rather than just fine). How long have you had the tank and what are the other inhabitants. P.S the third picuter has this purple coral with a red dot kinda thing at the end, do you think it looks like a girl that has her lips puckered?

something is wrong with your ammonia levels and nitrite, aka NH4 and NO2 respectively.

water from another tank is wortheless u should have no amonia or nitrite present

you should find out y you have any ammonia in you tank before it starts killing anything else

 

[kennygater]

i have just been checking all the water again and found the calcium was low so i have just added a calcium buffer.

 

[bambam]

you shouldnt have absolutly no amonia or NO2 in your tank i would figure that out before you worry about calcium

 

[kennygater]

the chart i have got for ammonia ses its 0.06. ph 8 and the test kit result is 1.2 so its in the green section

 

[kennygater]

right this is doing my head in. i have tested for ammonia 3 times with different test kits and there all different.
